Feminist training is necessary because it is the only way to guarantee equal education. Making history and the past visible, studied and analysed is the best way to understand the inequalities that have existed on the basis of gender.Artistic productions, as reproductions of past mentalities, are a fundamental vehicle for humanistic education, as well as an inexhaustible source for social debate.Art and its history must cease to be conceived as passive elements of knowledge that are exhibited in silent museums and become socializing agents through active dialogue.Women have been and are an object in the service of patriarchy. We can see this through works of art history.Reified images, created from ideals of beauty at the whim of the male, artists made invisible, female artistic productions undervalued, scenes admired in museums and institutions that contain abductions, abuse, aggression or rape.Turbulent lives under the cover of being educated in the belief of romantic love, standard-bearers of feminism, fears, dreads, dates to remember.Myths, legends and stories that cover up aberrations, stereotypes and archetypes that have survived until today.This book reflects on all of this through works of art.The study of art and its relationship with women has just begun. There are many biographies that must be redone with other parameters and much gender perspective to apply to art. This is therefore a new and risky version that should not leave anyone indifferent, for better or worse.We are used to relating gender violence with murder, ignoring that which is exercised from other spheres such as the family, sexual, economic, intellectual, physical, historical, academic, institutional, cultural, religious or political. It is this author's desire to put all these issues on the table by creating debate and criticism and, by bringing works of art closer to society as a tool in training in equality. Education is the only way to put an end to male violence.I hope that, at the end of this book, we will feel the art closer to us and we will guess in the works that will be put before our eyes to men and women, first of all to people, victims of a patriarchal society.
